The Red Sox visit the Dodgers for the final game of a three-game series on this week's Sunday Night Baseball. Boston took the first two games, including a 3-2 battle on Saturday night that improved them to 22-3 over their past 25 games. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was able to keep the Red Sox in check for most of Saturday night's game, but they managed enough to win as the Dodgers scored just the two runs despite racking up 10 hits. Sunday's starters are scheduled to be Emmet Sheehan for L.A. -- even though there are rumors that he will be gone at the trade deadline Monday -- and lefty Jake Bennett, who looks to put together another solid start for the Red Sox.
First pitch for Sunday Night Baseball at Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET. The latest consensus MLB odds list the Dodgers as -184 favorites, Boston is a +156 underdog and the Over/Under for total runs scored is set at 8.5. The SportsLine Projection Model has a strong play on the Dodgers to win, as they do so in 64% of its simulations, and it leans slightly to Under 8.5, which hits almost 54% of the time.

Dodgers money line
Jake Bennett has been great for Boston, but he's given up production to righties, with a near .250 average allowed as opposed to just a .158 against left-handed batters. The Dodgers were able to put up some hits Saturday against lefty Peyton Tolle but were unsuccessful with men on base, and I think that could change here. It might not be a high-scoring affair, but in the end I think the Dodgers put up enough runs against the young lefty to take the win.
Emmet Sheehan has been part of trade talks for a while now, and with Tarik Skubal acquired without Sheehan leaving the clubhouse, his future is still in flux but looks safer at the moment. Still, I would not be surprised if he was limited in some capacity here, and the Under 16.5 outs looks to be a good straight bet.
The Dodgers bullpen may have to cover some extra innings Sunday, but they've benefited a ton from Edwin Diaz coming back from the IL this week. I like them to hold the Red Sox if they go from Sheehan to the bullpen with a lead.

Mookie Betts 1+ hit
Betts didn't start Saturday after picking up at least one hit in six of his previous seven games. He did not get a hit in a late-game pinch-hit opportunity, but I like Betts to come back tonight and grab a hit against a lefty who has been far worse to right-handed hitters.
Bennett also isn't the type of guy to overpower hitters, so Betts should be able to put together at least a couple of solid at-bats, and I'm banking on a hit going through. Adding this gets us on the Dodgers ML for almost a dollar better price than we have currently.
